Wich version is this iPhone 6 running? Discussion

Got this iPhone 6 from a coworker and i'm guessing iOS 9 because the clock font is newer than the iOS 8 one, and it's also thinner than the iOS 10 one. Is it worth restoring?

9.x.x, kinda rare for an iPhone 6. Get the screen fixed first then do the Same iOS Wipe (if FMI off) or backup the ticket then Same iOS Wipe (if FMI ON)

I´ll try to get a cheap screen for it. Sadly it´s FMI on and the former owner doesn´t remember the account it´s linked to, but she might remember the passcode wich I would be able to see the account it has on, and she might still know the password to disable FMI (she has many icloud accounts, and just don´t remember wich one this device is in)

Don't worry about the FMI. If you get the tickets out the FMI problem is good. However to do the Same iOS Wipe you should know if the phone is jbroken or not, since this has the same mechanism of "Erase All Contents and Settings" so it may encounter problems with jailbroken devices.

I'm sure it's not jailbroken as she's just a normal user. My plan is to fix it, try to disable FMI if she still remembers the password and just erase the device in settings.

If she still remember the password then congrats! My practice applies best in the most common case is users really forget the Apple ID of those old devices. Let me know if there is any further problems.
